We've been big on carafes here lately, which is probably due to the fact that summer is a ragin' and it's SO HOT EVERYWHERE. So forgive our one track minds; all we can think about is quenching our thirst. And why not quench it with a sexy carafe like this one by Arian Brekveld? This double-walled, stainless steel number is sleek and minimal. Melamine tumblers stack perfectly with one acting as a simple lid. Cool. (Though, a bit on the pricey side.)
